Both ads repeat quotes from The Wall Street Journal and conservatives such as columnist George Will and Eric Erickson, author of the influential RedState blog, that attest to Huntsman's record and policies.

In one Erickson quote, the TV ad proclaims Huntsman is "more conservative" than Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney combined.

Romney leads in recent New Hampshire surveys compiled by RealClearPolitics, with Huntsman in fourth place but in double digits. Unlike his GOP rivals, Huntsman is ignoring the Iowa caucuses and staking his campaign on doing well in the Granite State, which has a big bloc of independent voters.

Our Destiny PAC is one of several "super PACs" raising and spending unlimited amounts of money to play a role in the 2012 presidential election. The group counts Huntsman's father, Jon Huntsman Sr., among its donors.
